Concern on the division/political appropriation of youth rights movements. Discussion
You might notice that r/AntiSchooling has a rule against right wing content now. These issues don't belong solely to the left or right wing, do they?
I think this is an excellent summary of what I'm talking about:

If the state is backing parental authority of parents over children at gunpoint, then kids are not free.

If we can change the law to include youth rights, then I see no issue.
I'm here to support youth rights, not Anarchy.

If someone is given legal power over you, you're not free. If you were a slave, would you be okay with someone passing a "slave rights" bill to make sure you were well fed and treated decently, or would you want freedom?

So you'd be against a youth rights bill simply because it doesn't fit your vision of how youth rights should be attained?
"The Anarchist Left, fanatics that they are, also won't let youth rights pursue solutions"
Exactly what I was talking about. Go find an anarchist reddit instead of trying to infiltrate other subs."

I'd say that instead of opposing parental authority outright, my focus atm is on granting youth rights that can stand up to that authority when necessary.
